In 1968, during the Apollo 8 mission, humanity witnessed something truly breathtaking — our own planet, rising over the Moon’s horizon.
This iconic image, known as “Earthrise,” was the first time humans saw Earth as a whole — a fragile, glowing blue marble floating in the darkness of space.
This single photograph changed how we view ourselves, inspiring unity, peace, and the modern environmental movement. 🌎💫
In this video, we explore the story behind Earthrise, how it was captured, and why it remains one of the most powerful images in human history.
